A man in Los Angeles reportedly got so sick of people at his apartment complex smoking near the pool (it reportedly bothered his young daughter, who had a health condition) that he decided to do something to get noticed: spray the smoking sun-bathers with a water bottle.

John Birke and his wife, Caryl, had lived at the apartment complex for 15 years. Their 11-year-old daughter, Melinda, reportedly suffers from asthma--a condition that is worsened by second-hand smoke.

When his neighbors wouldn't stop smoking, he said, "I went and got a water spray bottle and came back to make a point and stood behind them and started spraying water in the area. And I said, if that's the way you enjoy the pool, this is the way I enjoy the pool.'"

But, the apartment management didn't sympathize with his unusual anti-smoking campaign, and they've asked the couple, and their daughter, to leave their home.
